Seeing “Reservoir Dogs” #MovieReview

Film number 12 on the list of 1001 to watch and the second one I’ve seen before. 1992’s Reservoir Dogs! Quentin Tarantino’s third film. The first was Love Birds in Bondage which was never finished and 1987’s My Best Friend’s Birthday. And of course he’d later go on to make Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill & Django Unchained (all on the list). But enough ass-kissing. First time I saw this, I was far too young and only really watched to for the soundtrack (which you can hear here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb1YHtOQZX8). Now that I’m nearly 21 and actually had a chance to properly watch this film, I rather enjoyed it very much. Memorable scenes and very quotable. Who can forget the “Stuck in the Middle with You” while Mr Blonde carves off a policeman’s ear. Glad I got to watch it again. And really helped Tarantino launch to the success he’s had over the years. Here is what I had to say while watching 1992’s Reservoir Dogs

They think it’s about a big dick

Mr Brown says it’s about a fuck machine

Shout to K-Billy’s Super Sounds of the 70’s

Mr White steals Joe’s book full of names

“Too Fucking Busy shouldn’t be in a waitress’s vocabulary”

Mr Pink then plays the worlds smallest violin for the waitress

Waitressing is the #1 job for college graduates in 1992 – Wonder what it is now?

Joe convinces Mr Pink to tip since he paid for breakfast

LITTLE GREEN BAG

The radio DJ sounds boring – LIKE ME!!!

Slow motion walking makes us look cooler

We hear screams of pain in the background

We then see Mr Orange covered in blood in the backseat of a car

Mr White is driving

Mr Orange thinks he’s gonna die

“Are you a doctor?”

Mr Blonde convinces him he’s gonna be OK

At the safehouse

Mr White carries Mr Orange into the safehouse and places him on a ramp where he remains for the rest of the safehouse scenes
